The MURDERED WIDow. fol-
lowing is n special dispatch from
Wconsocket, Dakota, to the st. Paul
Pioneer Press;
Mary E. Ballard, the widow with
two little boys to support, whose
wrongs at tho hands Of the Land
Office were described a few weeks
ago, has died. A resume of some OF
the principal features of the case will
be interesting:
Three years ago Mary K. Ballard,
a widow having two little boys to
support, filed presumption declara-
tory statement for the northeast quar-
ter of section 80, township loS, range
GO, and Immediately established her
residence thereon. She was poor
aud worked for others to obtain the
necessaries OF life and make improve
ments on her clam. A part of the
time she worked in hotel at Woon-
socket, thirty miles distant, and
walked TO and from her land, often
making the trip when the weather
was freezing cold. During her alb
sence at Woonsocket the little boys
were left with some of her kind heart
cd neighbors. Toward the latter
part of the second winter on the claim
her supply of fuel (hay) beieg ex-
hausted, she went to her nearest
neighbor's for warmth, where she re-
NAMED about two weeks. In the
summer following she made proof
and then broken in health by her ex-
ertions to hold and improve her land,
she took few weeks rest before at.
tempting to do more. The proof was
accepted by the local land office and
the receipt issued. But Sparks "helc
up" the proof and called for further
evidences of good faith" As woulc
be supposed, the widow was heart
sick and discouraged, but friends
Hocked TO her assistance, and afiidav.
its were sent to the Commissioner I'll
her story was laid before hun in full
The only reply to all this was an or
der cancelling the entry, and forfeit
ing the widows $500 that she haC
paid for the land. This was the re
suit OF the widows efforts to max,
herself home on the free lands O
Dakota. Her friends had the case
appealed to the Secretary, but hard
ship, exposure and discouragemeu
had broken her health, and after ;
lingering illness she died. Now too
late, the Commissioners order is re
versed, and the widows proUf IS do

Brigha,pite Succession.

The following is taken from the
Saints Herald, published at Lamont,
Iowa. by Joseph Smith, jr.:
MILFORD Woodruff, supposed act
ing president of the Utah Church, in
a little address made to the confer
ence of that church held in Salt Lake
city, DC ,ober 9th and 9th makes use
of the following peculiar language:
al bear record--before God, angels
and men, that the fullness of'the
everlasting gospel has been revealed
in these last days through the proph-
cts of God; and that Joseph Smith
was raised up by the power OF God
as a prophet, seer and revelator. de
laid the foundation of this church and
kingdom in its perfection as it is at
the present time. He brought forth
the record as contained in the Book
of Mormon, in fulfllment of the pre-
dictions of the prophets OF God; also
the Book of Doctrine and Covenants,
which contain those grand and SOL
emn revelations, and those principles
of eternal truth, so precious to the
Latter Day saints. These things are
true. We should study them; lay
them up in our hearts, and practice
them in our lives"
The Book of Doctrine and Cove
nants was given and left by Joseph
Smith, June 2sth, 1914, and is di-
rectly opposed to the chief tenet OF
the present Utah Mormonism, plural
marriage. For instance, how entire
ly clear and unmistakable is the fol-
lowing from section ART (22):
"Thou shalt love thy wife with
all thy heart, and cleave unto her and
none else"
And this from section 40 (60 giver
in March, 1881:
"And again, ! say unto you, tina
whose forbiddeth to marry, is not or
dained OF God, for marriage is or
dained # God unto man; wherefor'
it is lawful that he should have ont
wife, and they twain shall be on
flesh, and all this that the earth nigh
answer the end of it creations; ant
that it might be filed with the meas
ure of man, according to his creation
before the world was made"
So far as God may have chosen t
express himself to the church in re
gard to the marriage relation, tn
foregoing is the foundation principl
and also the reason why it was give
TO the people Of the last days I
whom the preaching of the gosp'
was committed. This is a principi
OF eternal truth. The endorsement
of the principles given by JOSEF
Smith in the Doctrines and Cow
nants, thus enunciated by Wilfor
Woodruff should be scathing rebuk
10 himself aud those with him wi
have so signally overrode the teacl
ing OF that plain declaration: at
lawful that he (man) should ha'
one wife,

SCIENTIFIC Press: One of the
rarest minerals in the world has prob
ably been discovered in the mountains
along the river, directly below the
city of Chattanooga, Tenn. 1t is the
white, rust proof iron ore, hitherto
found only in Sweden. 1t is said to
contain IS per cent of pure iron. The
bed, distinctly marked by blossoms,
is fully six feet thick and of great
length. An assay is to be made in
the East, where specimens have been
sent The statement that l2x12-
inch beam, built up of 2xl2 planks
spiked together, is stronger than a
12x12-inch solid timber, will strike
the novice as exceedingly absurd
Every millwright and carpenter
knows that it is so, at least he
has been taught to believe that
it is so, whether he ever tested
it by actual experience or not. The
inexperienced will fall to see why q
timber will be stronger simply be
cause the adjacent vertical longitude
nal portions of the wood have beer
separated by a saw, and if this were
the only thing about it, it would moi
be stronger; but the old principa
that a chain is no stronger than it,
weakest link comes into the consid
Grafton. Most timbers have knots il
them or are sawed at an angle to the
grain, SO that they will split diagon
ally under comparatively light load
In built up timber no large kno
can weaken the beam except SO mucl
of it is composed of one plank, ant
planks whose grain runs diagonally tt
the outside cut will be braced anc
strengthened by the other pieces
spiked to it and having the grain rur
in different direction.
